A summer paradise | Shimmering Grains

A summer paradise

A dazzlingly beautiful summer day, in sparkling blue and green, I made this finding, with the couple in love sitting at the top of the cliff with the whole Mälaren (sweden’s third largest lake) in front of them.
Luckily I had infrared film in the camera, and the two had eyes only for each other, and I’m really pleased with the result.

I hope your summer is as fantastic too!

Enjoy 🙂

Härligt! Velat prova med ett ir-filter till min digitalkamera länge men har inte blivit av. Hur är det med ljusstyrkan och infraröd film? Blir det långa slutartider med en gång?

  Nja, det beror på… Med “vanliga” bländare, som det här var väl f11, då blir det nån sekund eller två, med pinnhålskamera blir det snabbt flera minuter, så stativ är ett måste i vilket fall som helst. Den här filmen kör jag på ISO 3 😁

    Haha, okej. Tänkte att löven/molnen/människorna såg rätt skarpa ut för att vara väldans lång slutartid.

Wonderful Marie. Romance in the summer and the infrared has encapsulated the lightness of the summer days. Hope you are well and glad to see the sun is shining after the gloomy winter.
